It all depends on how you look on it I guess. The scream is the most iconic painting ever, and the most copied/used comercially. So does that make Edward Munch the most famous painter? Nope, but one of them.
It's really impossible to name the most famous in any category as there are so many variables.

I know The Scream is up there.
Yeah I'm not kidding I saw a BBC(IIRC) documentary about it a while back. I'm at work atm so I got limited time for digging things up.

excluding non-20th century works, there are still things like The Kiss Infront of the Hotel Deville and The Persistence of Memory.
The Kiss, you mean by Rodin?

But anyway, this thread is more about artists, and not individual pieces of work. And more about opinions than any stastical proof from one person.
I thought all of this was opinion? And how can it be about artists when its not about what makes them famous(their work)?
So what decides why/how an artist is famous, his country of birth?

I don't think it's fair to compare this kinda artist with movie makers. That's a multi billion dollar industry and totally different. Everyone and his dog knows who steven speilberg is.
Why is it unfair? Film is a medium that costs far more than a brush, paint & canvas.
I think you fail at art if you think about cost.

I can think of some examples, but again, I don't wanna name names just yet. And these are generally some of the ones whose names I see pop up the most.
That can be related to place of birth and age. I studied arts for 2 years and in my opinion the avergae western art book is criminally faulty when it comes to presenting a proper introduction to different forms of arts and their history. They are usually dominated by artists of former colonial powers as they had much wider audience than anyone else.
